neurobiologist ± game & web dev

My only two design tools:
[1] "What is the experience we're trying to create" is the first & constant question
[2] To make something seem more like anything, put it next to the opposite (big guy/lil guy, happy thing/sad thing)

Just got an email notification that a forum post I made like four years ago got a reply. Some chud wrote literally a dozen long paragraphs of ranting about LGBT wokeism in my game (a mecha dating simulator demo).

He then immediately posted "Looks great! :)" on the next person's game in the showcase category. People are so weird.

Also this tiny obscure gamedev forum was absolutely not the direction I was expecting to pull reactionary heat from this year. I'm doing so much bigger and gayer things, and that's the one someone latches onto?

Edit: added a gif because this reminded me about it and I actually still like the concept (your combat moves are also your dialogue choices).
